EARLY REPORTS OF NEW CAPS LOGO SHOWS "SNARLING" EAGLE

Although the official unveiling of the Capitals' new logo is
still three weeks away, the WASHINGTON POST had a grpahic of the
new look this morning. The logo "will be of a bald eagle, one
that is snarling and streaking downward." The eagle will have
its claws outstretched with "Capitals" in capital letters below
it. The wing of the eagle will have five stars on them, "giving
the appearance of an American flag." Capitals VP/Communications
Ed Quinlan, who was at the NHL's New York office to go over the
uniform switch, declined to comment on the "still-to-be-
finalized" logo. The new colors have yet to be announced, but
sources told the POST's Len Hochberg that the design includes a
"coppery red," bright blue and white (WASHINGTON POST, 6/1).
